These varieties of winter squash and pumpkin are fantastically sweet. Ask for them at farmers market...
You can enjoy nutritious winter squash throughout much of the year with these growing tips from the ...
10 easy steps to get your home prepared for winter.
Cream of the Crops
December/January 2003
by Brook Elliot
Great taste is one of the biggest...
What if you could grow a vegetable that has a rich, nutty flavor; is packed with nutrition; adapts readily to soups, pilafs and pies; stores easily for up to six months; and even is pretty to look at? This description fits winter squash, which comes in dozens of different packages, with shapes ranging from acorns and turbans to 30-pound pink bananas. North and South American gardeners have been growing them for more than 9,000 years, and indigenous tribes from Argentina to Oregon each cultivated their unique strain, which often rambled among shriveling corn stalks during the second half of summer.
In an odd turn in culinary history, Americans decided to prefer pumpkins to winter squash. Or did we? Several types of winter squash — acorns, buttercups, delicatas and hubbards — are the same species as most pumpkins (Cucurbita pepo or C. maxima), and most canned "pumpkin" in stores actually is cushaw or butternut squash (C. moschata). So, if you like pumpkin pie but think you might not like squash pie, think again. In fact, any recipe that includes pumpkin or sweet potatoes can be easily adapted for winter squash.
A latecomer to the winter squash fan club, I began eating them several years ago after discovering winter squash soup, in which onions, celery and winter squash mingle with apples in a curried broth. Since then, seedlings have been sprouting from my compost heap (and producing lots of squash); clearly this vegetable wants to be a permanent part of my garden.
"That's why they're called trailing squash," says Minnesotan Martin Diffley, who with his wife, Atina, was named the 2004 Organic Farmer of the Year by the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service. "They followed people to new settlements by sprouting and growing in their trash heaps."
At their Gardens of Eagen farm, the Diffleys grow 16 types of winter squash, which is easier than choosing only one or two. A truly diverse crop, winter squashes come from four different Cucurbita species, which can grow into a huge range of shapes, sizes and colors. See "Sorting Through Winter Squash" later in this article to find out which squash fall into which group and how species differ from one another.
There is a perfect winter squash for every climate and palate, but finding one for your area is not a simple quest — unless you are a Midwesterner. "Buttercups have always been the precious ones around here," Diffley says. After waiting 20 years for an improvement in the old 'Burgess' variety, Diffley found 'Bonbon,' a 2005 All America Selections (AAS) winner from Johnny's Selected Seeds, and says it's worth making the switch from open pollinated (OP) to hybrid. "It's uniform, vigorous and has the same good flavor of 'Burgess,' only better."
The Asian version of buttercup, kabocha squash, also has many fans, as do three C. maxima varieties — 'Potimarron,' 'Hokkaido' and 'Red Kuri' — that probably started out as the same thing and changed a bit as they traveled the world. Subtle chestnut flavor is this strain's fame, whereas fast-maturing, North Dakota-bred 'Gold Nugget' is still endearing itself to gardeners with its orange softball-sized fruits 40 years after earning the 1966 silver AAS medal.
Buttery texture and user-friendly size aside, all of these squashes (and those of the C. pepo group) are much sought after by squash vine borers — pests that can decimate small garden plantings, but are not as bad in big fields of squash, where the mother moths have more plants to choose from as they seek host plants upon which to lay their eggs.
Both C. maxima and C. pepo squashes have the type of stem that squash borers love — wide and hollow in the middle, with a thick lining of spongy parenchyma, the preferred food of hungry squash borer larvae. However, C. maxima squashes have a way of defending themselves that the C. pepo lack: They vigorously develop supplemental roots where their vines touch the ground. You can improve the borer tolerance of long-vined buttercups by dumping a shovelful of soil over places where you see roots trying to get established in the soil. See "Stick It to Borers," later in this article for other strategies aimed at managing this pest.
Worth skirmishing with borers, both heart-shaped acorn squash and delicatas (which can look like little striped pumpkins or oblong loaves, depending on the variety) are classified as C. pepo, as is spaghetti squash, which is grown for its pastalike strings. Acorns and delicatas are great for stuffing, and because of their small fruit size, they are usually very productive, spewing out six or more fruits per plant.
Yet, maximum productivity and flavor from C. pepo squash requires that you manage squash borers and squash bugs — half-inch-long shield bugs that weaken plants by sucking plant juices. These are the critters that lay groups of shiny brown eggs on squash leaves, which hatch into long-legged nymphs. Adults overwinter in mulches and other garden debris, and then emerge in early summer, just as squash plants hit their stride. Squash bugs infest other types of squash, too, but they are most damaging to C. pepo varieties, which typically have a limited number of large leaves on compact plants. The loss of only a few leaves to squash bugs will reduce a plant's vigor, resulting in small, weakly flavored squash.
If you have a terrible squash bug and/or vine borer problem, the best solution is to grow squash beneath floating row covers, which are put over the plants soon after the seeds germinate or seedlings are set out. Be sure to allow plenty of growing room before you bury the row cover edges. Then let your squash grow for four to six weeks and remove the row covers when flowers appear (squash must be pollinated by bees and other flying insects).
When you let pollinating insects in, some pests will join them, but by then the plants will be strong enough to produce well, despite pesky insects.
This row cover protection works especially well with bush-type cultivars, which are not strictly bushy. Molly Jahn, professor of plant breeding at Cornell University, whose team developed two outstanding C. pepo "bush" varieties — 'Sweet REBA' and 'PMR Bush Delicata' — says the ideal squash starts out bushy, so young plants can be grown under row covers or closely watched for pests, and then has a late adolescent growth spurt when the vines stretch out, fill in and suppress weeds. "You get higher yields per area, especially if you go through and cultivate to remove weeds after the plants are established," Jahn says.
Beyond their bush habit, the Cornell varieties show excellent taste and high powdery mildew resistance, which is abbreviated as PMR in a variety name. Powdery mildew looks like a spidery dusting of white powder on squash leaves. It weakens plants and shortens their life spans, which results in fewer, less flavorful fruits that also store poorly. If you frequently see powdery mildew on your squash leaves, switching to a resistant variety will increase productivity and enhance your crop's flavor and nutritional value.
Only a few winter squashes are classified as C. mixta, a species first described in the 1920s that probably originated in Central America and Mexico, and then spread to the American Southwest by the late 1400s. The best known of these are the cushaws, which need up to 115 days of warm weather to produce their 10- to 12-pound bottle-shaped fruits, so they are rarely grown outside the South and Southwest. Yet in their home range, cushaws and other C. mixta, such as 'Hopi Black Green' and 'Tequila Black' show tremendous tolerance of heat and insects, especially borers. Their seeds are great for roasting, and plant historians think these squashes were first grown for their seeds rather than for their flesh.
Like C. mixta, winter squash classified as C. moschata have thin, ridged stems that make them unattractive to squash vine borers. They also come in several different forms. Familiar butternuts are the most widely grown moschatas, and reliable open-pollinated varieties such as 'Waltham,' released in 1970, and Johnny's 'Metro PMR' hybrid have much to offer. Easy to peel, with creamy smooth flesh, long storage potential and high in vitamin A, butternuts also can be picked immature and eaten as summer squash.
"They taste way better than summer squash, and people really like them," Jahn says. "We're actually breeding some new butternuts to use as summer-winter squash. They taste great, and the plants don't shut down like summer squash do. And, if you miss some, they will go on and mature into a butternut." Some C. moschata also are famous for distinctive flavors, such as the spicy, hazelnutty 'Futsu Black' variety from Japan, which is similar to other varieties called cheese pumpkins (so-named because they are round and flattened, like a wheel of cheese). These 6- to 10-pound pumpkinlike squashes include numerous pest-resistant heirloom varieties grown from Texas to Thailand.
There is even a heat- and drought-tolerant moschata called 'Tahitian' that is grown from South Carolina to Southern California. Boasting big fruits weighing from 8 to 30 pounds on vines that often run 20 feet long or more, 'Tahitian' is described as "a butternut on steroids" by Tim Miller, an organic farmer near Austin, Texas.
In 20 years of growing 'Tahitian,' Miller has never had an insect problem. "Be sure to plant it in really warm soil, in a hill enriched with compost," he says. Miller's favorite way to eat 'Tahitian' is baked with a little cinnamon on top, but 'Tahitian' has such high sugar content that it also can be grated and eaten raw.
Winter squash is wonderful because it stores easily for up to six months. Rob Johnston, founder and chairman of Johnny's Selected Seeds, says he handles stored squash gently to avoid bruising them. But even under ideal conditions, some squash last longer than others. As a general guideline, figure on six weeks for delicatas; two and a half months for buttercups; between three months and four months for acorns; and five months to six months for butternuts.
"Each variety has a peak time for eating, and the varieties that are sweeter at harvest don't keep as well," Atina Diffley says. That's because squash sweetens in storage as the starch converts to sugar.
"We eat our way through the season according to peak flavor; the order goes something like this: 'Sweet Dumpling' delicata and buttercups; 'Honey Delight' acorn and butternuts; spaghetti squash; and then hubbards," she says.
With any type of winter squash, the Diffleys point out that ripeness is crucial, because immature squash tastes watery and doesn't store well. The classic test for ripeness is to see if the skin is tough enough to resist a thumbnail puncture, but err on the side of overripeness if you're not sure. Martin Diffley leaves his squash in the field as long as possible. "I think a light frost helps sweeten them up," he says, though he points out that all squash should be brought in before a hard freeze.
Once harvested and wiped clean with a damp cloth, Diffley says, squash should be cured in an 80-degree place for a few days, which makes their skin develop a good waxy coating. Or, cure them by keeping them at 70 degrees for 10 days before moving them to a 45- to 55-degree storage place. Warmer temperatures shorten the storage life of winter squash, so if you have no cool basement or root cellar, it's best to cook and freeze the fruits within a couple of months.
The nemesis of squash lovers is squash vine borers (Melittia cucurbitae). They girdle squash stems from the inside out and radically shorten the plants' life spans. Here are seven creative ways to control them:
• Grow a moschata or mixta variety. Squash vine borers leave them alone.• Use row covers to delay infestation.• Inject Bt or beneficial nematodes into the stems. Studies have shown that nematodes remain active inside the stems for two weeks or more. Supplies for trying either method are available from Gardens Alive (www.gardensalive.com).• Surgically remove borers. Use a small knife to make a slit where you think borers are feeding, and fish them out with forceps or tweezers. Then cover the slit stem with moist soil.• Trap them. Large yellow pails filled with soapy water placed among your squash may attract the egg-laying adults (which are moths that look like wasps, shown above). Theoretically, they fall in and drown.• Strip off the eggs. Some folks wrap the bases of squash stems with aluminum foil or cloth to deter egg-laying adults. Later, should eggs appear farther up the stem, they can be stripped off with duct tape.• Skewer the borers at night. Inspect stems using a strong flashlight, and stick straight sewing pins in where you see the shadows of feeding borers. Repeat every few days, moving the pins to new victims.

Whether you grow your own winter squashes or buy them at a local farmer's market, there is no shortage of great ways to cook them. Martin and Atina Diffley cut most winter squash in half, place the halves cut side down in a roasting pan and bake at 375 degrees for an hour. "Be sure to flip them over during the last 10 to 15 minutes to caramelize the sugars," Martin says. And, if you're baking one squash, go ahead and bake six more, even if they are not of the same type. "Scoop out the cooked flesh, mix it together and freeze it. You'll get a blend of flavors, the same way you would if you were making apple cider," he says. If you are cooking large squashes, cut them into serving-sized pieces before baking. Renee Shepherd, owner of Renee's Garden Seeds, suggests roasting big chunks until they are almost done, and then coating them with a little honey and rosemary before returning them to the oven for a final glaze. You also can cook 1-inch chunks in a pot with a little water for about 20 minutes if you need mashed squash for pies, but don't overcook cubes that are destined for stews, casseroles or risotto. Ellen Ecker Ogden, co-founder of Cook's Garden, likes to cook bite-sized chunks of winter squash with braised onions, season the mixture with curry, turmeric and other Indian spices, and then add coconut milk before serving the stew over rice. Rose Marie Nichols McGee, owner of Nichols Garden Nursery, suggests seasoning winter squash and mushroom pilaf or risotto with a little sage and serving it hot with plenty of freshly grated parmesan cheese. And let's not forget pumpkin (er, squash) custard pie. With so many fine recipes to choose from, it's easy to get hooked on winter squash.

Head coach Gus Malzahn announced the practice plan this week is to split the snaps with the first team "50-50" between the two newcomers — Nick Marshall and Jeremy Johnson.
Malzahn said he and offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee met with Marshall, Johnson, Kiehl Frazier and Jonathan Wallace on Sunday to discuss how things would look as preseason camp progresses. Frazier has responded by requesting to move to safety.
"We told them all we feel like (Johnson and Marshall) have earned the right to compete for the job, and they're going to get the majority of reps with our ones this week," Malzahn said. "That's not to say that Jonathan Wallace will not be our starter come Day One, but we are going to give those two new guys a real chance to compete for the job and really show what they can do."
While Wallace may not have been eliminated officially from winning the job, he won't receive any snaps with the first-team offense this week. It's also unlikely that he'll move to another position, even if he ends up as the third quarterback on the depth chart.
"(He's) a quarterback," Malzahn said, "and he's a good one."
Frazier, on the other hand, voluntarily removed himself from the competition.
During his Sunday sit-down with Malzahn and Lashlee, Frazier proposed switching to safety to "help the team," Malzahn said. Neither the coach nor the offensive coordinator argued against the move.
According to Malzahn, the transition to defense will be a permanent one for the former USA Today National Offensive Player of the Year.
"He's going to be full-time safety," Malzahn said. "He can still do some things on offense, but he's putting his energy into safety."
With Wallace relegated to the background and Frazier no longer a factor, Malzahn noted Marshall and Johnson began to distance themselves the moment preseason camp began, showing signs of improvement every practice.
"Both of them have extremely live arms," he said. "They both can run, and both of them are athletic. It's just a matter of how quick they can get acclimated. We're still looking for a couple of different situations to see how they react and see how their teammates react."
Johnson's inexperience hasn't been a hindrance to him, and Malzahn doesn't see that changing any time soon.
"Whoever gives us the best chance of winning and being successful will be our quarterback," he said. "Obviously, it's tough for a true freshman in this league, but if he's the best and we believe he gives us the best chance of winning, he'll be our quarterback."
The practice time with the first-team offense will be divided as equally as possible, Malzahn said, with the coaching staff keeping tabs on their decision-making every play.
"We're trying to put those two guys with our main group as much as we can this week to see how they respond and really, to see how their teammates respond to them," he said.
"See who can move the ball, see who can protect the football and do the things it takes to be successful and to win."
The Tigers will hold another scrimmage today, but the quarterbacks won't be "live," meaning they are not allowed to be tackled.
Despite the streamlining of snaps at the position, Malzahn refused to settle on a date for naming the starter.
"Obviously, we'd like to name something sooner rather than later, but that's just the plan for this week," he said. "That's not to say we're going to name somebody at the end of this week."

The Norwegian Lutheran Congregation was organized on Oct. 8, 1864, near Vermillion. This congregation included the Norwegian Lutherans in Clay, Union, and Yankton counties. In 1867, this extensive congregation was divided into three districts � Bergen in Clay County, Brule Creek in Union County and Vangen in Yankton County.
In the spring of 1871, construction began on a church building for the Bergen congregation and the first services were held July 19, 1871. The building was not complete until 1891 when the bell tower was added. The Bergen Lutheran Congregation was officially incorporated in 1886.
The present church building was constructed in 1909 and 1910 with the cornerstone being laid Oct. 3, 1909 and dedication on June 11, 1911. Construction of the fellowship hall addition began in 1995 and was dedicated on June 29, 1997.
Over the 142 years, there have been many ice cream socials, potlucks, chicken suppers, lutefisk dinners, oyster stews and box socials. Breaking bread together was a lot of hard work, but also an important time of fellowship.
Everyone is welcome to join us as we break bread together and celebrate our heritage.

Indiana Mother Locked Up After Beating Her Son With An Extension Cord Over Sagging His Pants!
Description: "A Muncie mother is accused of beating her 15- year-old son with an extension cord because he was wearing his pants too low at school. "The kids' bottoms are hanging out of their pants and its really kind of offensive to a lot of folks," said Charles Reynolds, Associate Principal at Muncie Southside High School. It was apparently very offensive to the boys' mother, 40-year-old Yolanda Womack, who had to sign his disciplinary note. According to police, Womack was so angry with her son she allegedly told him "to remove all of his clothes so she could whip him." When the teen refused, Womack reportedly "got an extension cord and began striking him with it on his upper torso area."" - Heather MacWilliams

Best pizza in town! – Right when i walked into the restaurant I had a feeling I was going to have a enjoyable dinner. Their pizza is so good that I ate every last piece of it!
Not the best – Ordered carry out deep dish pizza and a blackened shrimp salad here and was kind of disappointed.. The deep dish sausage pizza did not have much sausage on it and the crust was too greasy. Lou Malnati's is a better bet for deep dish.
The blackened shrimp salad was doused in honey mustard vinaigrette, making the lettuce and pizza crouton strips all soggy. The pizza crisps tasted so bad soggy that I had to pick them out individually. The honey mustard did not seem to go with the spicy cajun flavor of the shrimp. Oh, and on the menu it said there would be artichoke hearts....but nary one was to be found.
BEST Bushetta in town – I found this place due to my work.
We have all our business lunch meetings at Connie?s and I tell you they have the BEST Bushetta Roma.
I also can recommend the spinach dip, Linguine with Vodka Sauce and Grilled Shrimp.
We order at least once a week from them
(make sure to pick it up since the delivery charge is quit high)
At the pick up window you will find the sweetest Lady and she always greed?s you with a smile.
I recommend checking them out for yourself!!!
Worth the Wait! – Connie's is one of the best in chicago for pizza. It is so good...you can order it deep dish, thin crust, it doesn't matter and though the wait may be long, the food comes out fresh, warm and ready to be devoured. The chicken tenders and fries are also highly recommended.
Avoid every night/day! Connie's pizza is garbage – Connie's pizza is just terrible! I moved to chicago for a job, and then moved away after eating Connie's pizza! Please do not eat here, i would rather go to Long Johns Silver's and have them attempt to make a pizza... Connie really needs a new recipe! This pizza made me tear up after eating... and the wings??? NO
NOT GOOD.... taste's like the special Education class made it... just terrible
Chicago South Side Pizza, HERE IT IS! – Why this is in the 10th spot on this site I will never know. You cannot compare it to Home Run inn because they are two entirely different pizza's. Connie's is just simply fantastic and I would tell anyone flying in from New York or anywhere else in the country to come here in a heartbeat so they could get a good idea of what Chicago Pizza is all about. Just plain fantasic. Since reviews are opinions I will refrain from sayin Chicago is the Pizza Capital of the Universe like a New yorker would say however I will tell you this when you bite into this baby you will know exactly what I am talking about. Great sauce, great cheese , superior crust.need I say more?
Pie-loving Chicagoans have flocked to this family-friendly, savory-sauced pizzeria for generations. – In Short
A favorite of visitors to venues like U.S. Cellular Field and the United Center, this joint is emblematic of Chicago pizza. The casual, relaxed dining room fills with teens and families. The menu features starters like bruschetta, fried calamari and garlic bread. Pizzas are thin, mid-weight, deep-dish and stuffed, topped with crushed garlic, sausage, black olives and more. Hankering for pasta? Plates like chicken Parmesan, ravioli marinara and baked lasagna fill the bill.
It's gotta be Connies – I moved 1800 miles away from Chicago and yet I still crave Connies. I can't make a trip back without getting my deep dish pan pizza and fried zucchini. I love this place. Put it this way, if I'm willing to wait an hour and a half for a seat, it's gotta be good.
one of the best in the city. – the pizza is great and the rest of the food is good too.
User review by d_swanigan2 – I was not overly impressed with the food here. I have had better pizza elsewhere.

Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency
Yes, deficiency of vitamin D can cause bone pain and muscle weakness. However, mild vitamin D deficiency is not necessarily associated with any symptoms. Vitamin D has been referred to as the "sunlight vitamin" because it is made in our skin when we are exposed to sunlight.

Game Modelling and A Curriculum for Excellence

: Categories Uncategorized
Neverwinter Nights – St Augustines High School, Edinburgh
In 2008, Susan Falconer – Computing teacher at St Augustines High School embarked on a Games Design project with S1 pupils using Neverwinter Nights. Judy Robertson from Heriot Watt University took the Neverwinter Nights game and lead the development of the Adventure Author and Fridge Magnets plugins.
Using the fantasy adventure theme in Neverwinter Nights as a contextual hub for learning, pupils engaged in a 6 week, interdisciplinary task involving a number of departments. The following departments contributed to the project in the following ways
- Computing – design and creation of a fantasy adventure game
- English – explore narrative and character in the fantasy genre
- CDT – creation of DVD cover for competed computer game
- Business Education – creation of a business plan for computer game release
- Home Economics – character inspired chocolate truffle making
- Drama – acting out a scene from their fantasy game
The 2008 S1 cohort, now in S2, are continuing the Games Design theme with more subject areas taking part. Susan and the rest of the team are planning to roll the project into S3 next year.
This small slide show will give you a taste of the project.
I had the opportunity to speak briefly with Susan about the project.
Tell us about the project objectives
The aim of Curriculum for Excellence is to enhance pupil learning. By engaging pupils through the use of computer game modelling software, this projects aim was to inspire their work through an interdisciplinary approach, initially in Computer Studies and English, bringing relevance of aspects of their learning in the different departments to pupils.
In order to promote literacy, you engaged with the English department. Can you tell us about that particular link?
In English, the focus was on narrative devices used in story-telling, particularly in the Fantasy genre, improve their appreciation of the writers skill and improve their own imaginative writing. In particular, to look at setting, characterisation, plot and dialogue.
The focus in the Computing department, was to further develop their ideas and create a fantasy game with Neverwinter Nights using the setting, characterisation, plot and dialogue written in English as inspiration and guidance. Pupils developed a rich variety of new skills and enhanced their ability to learn from each other.
What was the impact of the project?
The pupils loved it. They worked without realising it and were inspired.
Attainment was raised
The pupils experienced a variety of familiar and unfamiliar challanges
What makes the project special?
We put learning and fun hand in hand. Pupils were given a worldly business experience where they had to create a product from inception to marketing, linking disciplines from many departments, showing the relevance of each.
The cross curricular project was highly commended in the recent HMIE inspection and is a fantastic example of how Games technology can really enhance the curriculum and engage with the CfE outcomes.
Look out for a more detailed look at the project, including videos, in our sharing practice section.More

Oregon Signs Up Just 44 People For Obamacare Despite Spending $300 Million 586
from the try-again-later dept.
Not going to melt in your mouth unless you have a high fever.
So it's going to be like chewing on chocolate flavored crayons.
That Accuraterip list is horribly outdated for new purchases.
Almost none of the models that do well in their stats are for sale anymore.
Most are IDE as well.
That said, the disadvantage that BOTH of them have (namely being a physical item requiring shipment)
That isn't necessarily a disadvantage. Games may take up to two or four years to develop. People anticipate a new game coming, and will pay and order it. The built in 'dongle' copy protection of a physical item being needed to play the game keeps the content paid for, and people don't mind having something to look forward to having arrive in the mail in a few days.
The instant gratification of online games has it's draw, but it's not a requirement for many customers.
This is a discussion of offline backup (notice all the "use tape" responses), harddrive copies can be kept in a offsite location just like tapes.
Any kind of realtime multi-site or off-site backup involves mega bandwidth.
Drobo is a proprietary solution, single vendor, single source.
Just because you had some problems with Samsung means nothing about their general reliability.
A few specific models have had problems, such as the IBM "Deathstar" models, or the recent Seagate firmware problems, but there is no evidence that whole brands are less reliable.
Read the Google report on drive brands, there are no clear winners or losers across brand lines in their exhaustive real world tests.
As far as I can see, there are no internal Maxtor branded 2TB drives.
Isn't the Maxtor brand fading away?
Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.

KDF Launches New Casting Machine, Sintering Furnace
KDF introduced two new products at the show:

Nobilium's Dentate Esthetic Functional Space Ruler (DEFSR) Enhances Dentist-Laboratory Communication
For multi-unit bridges or implant therapy, dentists can use Nobilium's Dentate Esthetic Functional Space Ruler (DEFSR) to take critical measurements of a patient's mouth and then send the ruler to the laboratory to ensure the final prosthesis is fabricated in harmony with the remaining teeth. The ruler measures the vertical distance from the undisplaced vestibule to the incisal edges of the maxillary and mandibular teeth and its relationship to the lip at repose and/or smiling. For more information, call 800-833-2343 or visit www.nobilium.com.

Zubler Debuts Milling Wax Discs
Zubler USA launched its new milling wax designed for pressing and casting. The wax has the reproducibility of a sturdy milling wax while retaining the characteristics of hand wax; it's strong enough to maintain marginal integrity during milling, but is also workable for melting, spruing or sculpting. Thanks to the material's translucent and contrasting characteristics, design detail is more visible. Because resin can increase burnout time and cause damage to pressing ovens and contamination, the discs contain less resin and more high-quality wax for better final results.
The company...

Roland DGA Corp. introduced two new optional accessories for the company's DWX-4 compact mill:
An automatic tool changer (ATC) that supports up to four different tool sizes for highly precise unattended milling.
A multi-pin clamp that allows the machine to mill up to four different pin-type materials simultaneously, accommodating differences in material composition and color. As a result, prosthetics for up to four different patients can be produced in a single production run, saving time, labor and costs.
"The DWX-4 is an easy-to-use, precise, on-demand production platform for digital...

Delcam's New DentMILL 2014 Software Offers Higher Precision
Delcam demonstrated its latest software release, DentMILL 2014, that offers enhanced milling precision, especially important for abutment interfaces. The software imports vector information that defines the alignment of the interfaces and overlays predefined milling templates for the interfaces which is more accurate than .stl geometry, according to the company.
Another improvement to the system is the intelligent stock-management system, which allows the user to select only the sizes of material block currently in stock and suitable for the specified milling machine and fixture. After milling,...

If you walked past the Smile Line booth at LAB DAY, it was hard to miss the pirate logo hanging on the wall behind the hands-on demonstrations.

Awesome Jewelers! – This place is fantastic! The jewelry is what dreams are made of, and Mr. Miller and his staff go out of their way to be helpful. No one was snobbish as I read in an earlier review---quite the opposite. I wasn't in the shop to make a purchase---just to get an appraisal for a ring--and still, they went out of their way to clean my ring (which was purchased elsewhere and required a special soaking), and give me a proper appraisal.
High prices, High noses. – I shopped here for an engagement ring before, the settings were a little steep for me( Some nice stuff but 7K and no rock with it ?). I ended up finding one on vacation in AZ. I bought the stone in from a dealer in CAL. When I got home I visited 2 jewelers to get the stone set, they both said no problem, but had 1 week turn around, one place wanted $60, the other $100. I called MJ told them what I had, they said no appointment they have jewelers there all the time, they can set it in 2 hours, it would be $200. To get it done quickly I was willing to pay the premium, I went over there, they immediately said I would have a tough time finding anybody to set it when it wasn't purchased from them, I told them I already talked to 2 others that said they would do it, they then said they can do it, but they would need a week. I asked about doing on the spot or even coming back and making an appointment to do it. They said no I would have to leave it, then said they have cracked stones in the past and would not be liable to what happen to it when they had it ( I understand that can happen, but the other 2 jewelers looked and it and said no problem. It really didn't give me a warm and fuzzy to their confidence in their skills), and said it would be $300. I asked why so much? They said because of the size and risk, which I still could not figure out since they just told me they would be responsible if anything happened to the rock while they had it. At that point I was walking out (thinking the $300 of work wasn?t worth it to them) and they asked me where I was taking it I told them where (tdc a reputable jeweler around for 20 years and has all 5 star reviews on this site). They said I should not take it there, I asked them why and they said because they don?t know him (talk about pompous). To make a long story short don't waste your time unless you have money to burn. There are a lot better and more honest jewelers out there that provide a better experience.

Before u hire a president, check out his references!
if you are even just a little bit open-minded, please consider: Before you hire a President, you should check out his references. What do the people he used to work for (Massachusetts citizens) think of Mitt now? Please consider the following BEFORE you vote. Don't find out the hard way, after Mitt is governing you, what this guy really is like! That's what Massachusetts did, and now they regret it. Voting for president is a big responsibility so I think we owe it to ourselves and our nation to consider Mitt's references from the only time he has ever served as an elected official. Massachusetts knows Mitt, and Mitt will lose his home state in a major way. Mass voted for Reagan (twice) and has a Republican Senator now, but Mitt is one Republican that Massachusetts will not vote for again. Once was enough. Read about Mitt and Mass, BEFORE you vote. Don't learn about Mitt the hard way! *******mittinyourpocket.weebly****/why-mass-hates-mitt.html

So what happened to the socialist Obama-bot that started this forum? Gone, gone, gone!
Can't defend an obviously failed program maybe? Ashamed and embarrassed to be taken in by the most lawless and obviously socialist President in history?

HEADLINE: Labor union officials say Obama betrayed them in health-care rollout
"Labor leaders who have spent months lobbying unsuccessfully for special protections under the Affordable Care Act warned this week that the White House's continued refusal to help is dampening union support for Democratic candidates in this year's midterm elections.
"We want to hold the president to his word: If you like your health-care coverage, you can keep it, and that just hasn't been the case," said Donald "D." Taylor, president of Unite Here, the union that represents about 400,000 hotel and restaurant workers and provided a crucial boost to Obama by endorsing him just after his rival Hillary Rodham Clinton had won the New Hampshire primary."

"The disparities are striking. By 2017, the estimated increase would be 62 percent for California, about 80 percent for Ohio, more than 20 percent for Florida and 67 percent for Maryland. Much of the reason for the higher claims costs is that sicker people are expected to join the pool, the report said.

"Another day, another unpleasant surprise from Obamacare, President Obama's signature achievement. The taxes the law is imposing on the US economy are twice as high as initial estimates.
The Joint Committee on Taxation recently released a 96 page report on the tax provisions associated with Affordable Care Act. The report describes the 21 tax increases included in Obamacare, totaling $1.058 trillion – a steep increase from initial assessment, according to the Tax Prof Blog. The summer 2012 estimate is nearly twice the $569 billion estimate produced at the time of the passage of the law in March 2010."

HEADLINE: Millions noticing paychecks lighter today, due to payroll tax hike
"Hoffman, a 21-year-old Virginian who works at a nonprofit, estimates her paycheck will be roughly $30 less this biweekly pay period, or about $780 annually, thanks to the end of a two-year cut on payroll taxes, which fund Social Security. The tax has risen back up to 6.2 percent from 4.2 percent, costing someone making $50,000 annually about $1,000 per year and a household with two high-paid workers up to $4,500."
You voted for him, Lefties, enjoy yourselves with less money! I can't wait for the screaming when you socialists have to pony up $700-$2500 on your taxes next year for ObamaCare.
